PanaCIM Maintenance with Augmented Reality software provides instant communication and information to factory technicians -- when and where it is needed -- so they can respond to factory needs more effectively. Contains built-in features to curb human error, offering access to check lists, part lists, and repair history, among other documents, to assist in equipment breakdown or scheduled maintenance. Technicians can also easily enter data while still at the machine for future reference. Helps prioritize tasks and determine the technician in closest proximity to perform those tasks. Machines are identified through the camera of a tablet or mobile device and important information is overlaid right on the image. Runs on Windows, iOS, and Android.
